There's a difference between clearing them and signing on the dotted line (still not done yet).

No, not at all. The signing of contracts is still pending, should be done soon though.

Hey bro it seems,IA orders the Spike ER version,as they going to fit the missile on new acquired BMP 2 which is also cleared today.

Not to sure about what variants have been ordered or what APC has been ordered. One (semi) reliable source is saying the Spikes ordered were the man-portable version for the infantry.

Deal is cleared by GoI but not signed the contract with US companies

Its BMP II, dont know which units thought.

RTA, Avro replacment (likely to be the C-27J/C-295) and MTA are all FAR too small for either the AWACS OR AAR role. Additionally the IAF has been asking for an additional 2 PHALCON for years now, even if (which they aren't) the above were up to the job of supporting the PHALCON systems and radar, the IAF can't wait another decade or so.

And sorry to burst your bubble, but I'll do it now and prepare you for the shock but for the AWACS (India) project the DRDO/CABS are working on to build an AWACS comparable to the PHALCON system, the plane for that WILL be foreign built/designed (likely the 787 or A330).

It's called pragmatism and an efficient use of resources.
What alternate plan? Stop dreaming mate.

Sorry to burst your bubble
